The fight will take place on the night’s un-televised preliminary card.
The event, broadcast by Spike TV, is set for April 2 at the Broomfield
Event Center in Broomfield, Colo.

A source from Miller’s AMA Fight Club alerted MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that
the New Jersey-based fighter had accepted the fight and that an
official announcement will come later today.

The Miller-Aurelio fight was first reported by MMAWeekly.com.

Late last night UFC.com confirmed that Fisher had suffered a shoulder
injury while training and was forced to pull out of the bout. The UFC
pulled the fight completely from its Events section before posting a
bulletin that a replacement would be named shortly.

With an amateur wrestling background, Miller has finished eight of his
10 victories via submission. The 24-year-old, whose only loss was to
highly touted UFC lightweight Frankie Edgar, most recently defeated
Chris Liguori at a March 7 Ring of Combat show.
